In a bid to have quality competitions, the organiser has waved off the training fees and riders are having regular training to improve on their skills ahead of the event.
"Because we are going to compete for prizes, we want riders to get used to the redesigned track to be able to give fans value for their money," The event coordinator Peter Ndiwalana said.
The event supported by Kampala Executive Aviation, Excel Lubes, Molecule, Coca-Cola and Vision Group under the Urban TV brand will have riders win big prizes and cash.
